Custom Fields

Custom fields are used to add additional fields to the Info pages associated with stored
videos and live broadcast streams. All stored videos, and those live streams that have been
"customized," have an

Info

hyperlink. By default, the Info page has fields for

Description

and

Keywords

. The Custom Fields functionality lets you add additional "custom" fields that are

appropriate to your business or application. This lets you provide more information on the
page and it also makes it easier to search for specific streams. (All defined fields are listed in
the dropdown list box next to the

Search

button.)

When you add a custom field using this function, the field is available to administrators as a
selection in the

Customize Streams

window. It is also available to end users as the

Modify Info

button on the Info pages associated with stored videos (if they have content publishing
permissions).

T

To create a Custom Field:

1. Go to

Global Settings > Custom Fields

.

Set Cisco ACNS Manifest
Options

Check the box to enable generation of a Cisco ACNS
Manifest File. (The Cisco ACNS server must be configured to
point to this file.) Select the files (MPEG-4 and/or WM) to
include in the file, and specify a Manifest Generation Interval
(default = 10 minutes) that defines how often the file will be
regenerated. Click Generate Now to create an "on demand"
file. ACNS copies all MPEG-2 and WM video files to all
(Windows Media, Darwin, and VOD-W) servers in your
EtherneTV system. Additional configuration steps are
required on the VOD-W server only. See
ACNS Configuration on page 175 for more about ACNS.

Display VOD File
Extensions

Check the box to display file extensions (for example .mp4 or
.wmv) in the Portal Server Asset Library.
